Hog Bait Recipe
(Try this if shelled corn is not working! Must pre-bait and have hogs coming to the trap prior to setting the door trigger for best results!)
40-50 gallon metal trash can with lid
150 pounds of corn
8 pounds of sugar
1 packet of yeast
Optional: 4-5 packets of grape, strawberry or raspberry flavored Jello Place corn in trash can, fill and maintain can with water 3"- 4" above corn. Mix in all other ingredients. Place trash can in the sun with lid on. Stir with a shovel or paddle daily for 10-14 days. Don’t spill the "finished" product on your clothes!! Ladle in and around trap and replenish as needed.
Other Baits
Corn fermented in beer
Used fish grease/peanut oil and corn
Diesel or used motor oil coated onto a post or piece of old carpet
Bread fermented in water
Spoiled produce (no onions!)
Dry dog food
Ripe fruit (bananas or plums)
Commercially available baits
Tip: "Freshen" other baits by spraying every other day with a strawberry gelatin/water mix in a pump-up sprayer
does this work ???
I know a hog won't eat anything that will make it sick
I would think some corn bury in the ground for them to root up and ground feed on the ground
lots of veggies
I had some here at the house that was like 2 months old. I took it to my hunt camp just to get rid of it. It looks like a dozer went thru where I dumped it out. And I mean that stuff was bad. Hogs will eat anything. They will even eat :shart:
granted i'm not baiting traps, but the corn tortilla dough we got a hold of, worked very well. them hogs ate a 55 gallon drum worth in 2 days. get the drum full for $10.00.
